Does anyone know if there is an interview or some sort of source that tells us what Brian Wilson thought about Ken Levine's quartet rendition of probably his most famous song, "God Only Knows" heard in BioShock Infinite?

According to someone who would know.
Seriously, there was a Beach Boys Love You condom?! Amazing.

I didn't try it when it came out but holy cow... that was surreal as hell to suddenly hear that song being sung while giving it a try on my Oculus DK2 last week! What fun to wander around that world in cludgy hacked-in VR.
BRIANVOICE: "It blew my mind!"
Would've been nice for that quartet to pop back in later with a little taste of "Heroes and Villains" or a blast of the "Roll Plymouth Rock" chants

I doubt he's aware of it.

Ken Levine has stated that BW has not been made aware of it. Also that the process of clearing the brilliant barbershop version of God Only Knows was too costly for the soundtrack!
My favourite video game in existence.

It was a remarkable video game and having GOK in it was such a nice touch.

The music was all over a very special part of the game. I really want to play the two Burial At Sea parts again soon. The Paris scene is really special. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siW-wd3HeIsSigh. |

Just meant that my love of Bioshock Infinite is well known and I cannot avoid engaging on it.
A delicious dystopian sting.

Ahh, ok! I have a different definition for the word sting and not knowing what you meant I got a little worried for a minute there.  |

Me too...I was thinking Chris Hansen was here to 'catch a predator', since I previously made a joke about Mike driving a brown windowless van  |

First a barbershop quartet singing 'God Only Knows' and now a lovely Paris scene with Edith Piaf singing 'La Vie En Rose'. Must play this game. |

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older, then we wouldn't have to wait so long And wouldn't it be nice to live together, in the kind of world where we belong? http://wildsmiley.weebly.com |

"Brian, what was the last video game you played or heard of?"
"Video what?"
"Like a Playstation game, or something."
"Oh, right. That'd be BioShock Infinite."
"Cool. And what's your favourite game?"
"BioShock Infinite."
"Haha. Okay. Thanks so much for talking to me about video games!"
"Video what?"
